Speaking exclusively to the Mirror Online, she revealed that having children had changed her for the better.

Tom previously revealed that looking after Buzz had helped him through a difficult period in his life and overcome depression. When asked whether she saw a difference in him, she said that "definitely" had.

"But saying that, there a lot of people who have depression and it doesn’t help them. He’s very lucky like that – he’s in a very good place."

She added: "It’s amazing seeing him with the boys – he’s very playful. He teaches me how to do stuff. I think I always knew that I would be the strict one and Tom would be the playful one."

Giovanna said that she "loved" seeing that side of her husband: "They bring out his creativity."

Speaking about whether they were hoping for a third baby, she said: "Yes, I think so! Never say never, I mean you never know what’s going to happen if you’re able to.

"We will do at some point – the next few years are choc-a-block full of stuff! Some of these things you can’t plan but who knows what’s going to happen."

Giovanna is kickstarting a new campaign called Letters of Life with comparethemarket.com, which calls on parents and grandparents to think about what pieces of advice, anecdotes or experiences they would pass onto their children and grandchildren.

"I think that growing up, I had this thing about wanting to be accepted and therefore I wasted far too much energy into people who weren't really worthy of my time," she said. "I had a few things that happened that made me quite insecure. And even as an adult that feeds into that so that's why it's quite prominent to me."

She added: "So I wanted [to send that message that they] should love you for who you are and not someone else."
